Windows is at the end of their windows phone disaster, there are going to be a bunch of stories talking about their "gains" until the facts come out. Can anyone here even count ten people that they've seen with a Windows Phone? I can't count a single one, besides the one I saw in the garbage. No lie.

The same can be said for bbry. I haven't seen a single windows phone because I don't know what one looks like nor do I care. But they are a serious threat to bbrys market share.

I was at a reunion banquet yesterday with a bunch of people in my past life, people I never spoke to for 5-10 years; in fact, it was like a reunion, where nobody there had kept in touch with anybody there. Everyone had a vastly different background. Teachers/Accountants/Operations ppl/Gangsters/Nerds. You name it.

Anyhow, not doing it on purpose, people see my Z10 and THEY bring it up, not me. Several ask about it and eventually the topic of the night became phones. And it was not about stocks. It was about phones.

Without even asking, a total of 6 current iPhone users said they are going to get a BB10 for when their upgrade is available. 2 SG3 switching to BB10 as well. The party was bout 50 people, so given it was a fairly random sample, I was happily shocked.

The latest Kantar Worldpanel survey results from the three month period ending April 2013 show BlackBerry market shares that have barely budged from what they were 2-3 months before. Some may see this as an indication that BlackBerry 10 has not performed well, but we are inclined to hypothesize that Kantar's panel is weighted heavily towards low to medium priced smartphone purchasers, and thus do not capture the sales at the high end of the smartphone market accurately. It is important to note that Kantar Worldpanel numbers are derived from a survey, and have sometimes deviated significantly from the actual reported numbers from carriers and manufacturers.

Below we have compared reported results for iOS and Windows Phone in the U.S. with Kantar Worldpanel's survey results. For example, Kantar Worldpanel pegged iOS' share at AT&T at 63% during the three months ending March 2013, while AT&T's (T) Q1 report mentioned that iPhones accounted for 80% (4.8 million out of 6 million) of smartphone activations. Kantar Worldpanel had iOS' share at Verizon (VZ) at 45.7% versus the 55.6% (4 million out of 7.2 million) that Verizon reported.

On the other hand, Windows Phone numbers appear overstated. Nokia reported 400,000 Lumia sales to North America during Q1. Since Nokia is estimated to have 65% of the Windows Phone market in the US, total Windows Phone sales during Q1 should be around 600,000 units. This is approximately 2% of total US sales during Q1 compared to the 5.6% that Kantar Worldpanel suggested.

High-end phones such as the iPhone appear to be substantially underrepresented in Kantar Worldpanel's surveys compared to actual numbers. On the other hand, Windows Phone appears to be significantly overrepresented. Windows Phone has an ASP that is under $250 based on Nokia's numbers, which is about 60% below the iPhone and 45% less than BB10 devices. BB10 device pricing is at the high-end of the smartphone market, which if our hypothesis is true, makes it probable that the Kantar Worldpanel survey figures are significantly less than actual sales for BlackBerry. In particular, Kantar Worldpanel's figures for Verizon are improbable, as they'd suggest that BlackBerry only sold 14,000 units at Verizon during February to April, including only a few thousand BB10 units.

Those who are sitting pretty are those who were loyal and believe d in bbry since it was in the 6-8 range. People worried are the ones who just want to profit on bbry and don't care about the company just their own wallets. Put bbry first. We owe it to them.

I first bought in the 8 dollar range but have been trading up until a few weeks ago. Buying more now on dips and plunges.

i thought it bottomed at $35 and was loyal, look where it is now? no, just kidding, but that is the weakness of your argument

No joke my z10 just rebooted ,anyways I no longer own shares. I sold at 7:50 range. Not too b u tt Hurt as I only had 3000 shares. It was left over in my qtrade account but it did hurt that I had bought those shares at 17. But i do despise bbry as a company. I have for years. Ironic since I have had a bbry since 03/04. I just don't like how the company is run and how they keep breaking promises. But as far as security they can't beat that is why I still own a bbry. So my negativity comes from that not due to any financial concerns.
